hi. I have a strange problem with nvidia proprietary driver. it worked well untill 1 week ago. since the release of kernel 3.2.3.2 akmod service hangs at boot saying it fails and then after 3 or 4 minutes gdm starts. I thought it was building the module but since then at every boot the system hangs for 5 minutes at akmod failure then starts . I even installed kmod.nvidia but no luck. what could I check?

akmod is for kernels -PAE systems with over 4 gigs of ram. should have used kmod-nvidia
and added exclusion=akmod-nvidia* to your yum.conf file.
